Aren't there supposed to be electronics testing jigs for the final QC ?? I would expect a few oscilloscopes at some stations that deal with final inspection though.
I see those even for really small scale fabrication houses that I sometimes deal with in my line of work.
You are right, they really should have them... one of my family friends used to do testing for corporations and his desk was filled with various electronic testing tools. Although he was a contractor and he was sent first runs of products or products from new facilities to make sure the job was done right.
But the "assembly guy" that they showed had no tools on his desk and he was excited to possibly have the next day off and surely didn't act like an engineering type, although he was only on camera for a short period of time so I could be mistaken. But engineering types are usually not very friendly with the camera.
It is amazing how little regard you show for people, the work they do, and humanity in general. Just the fact you say "low paid employees" is telling. Not everyone regards people a commodity just to be used. smh. Maybe they pay people fairly because that would be the right thing, they are not sweatshop owners. Maybe they respect people and feel they have value, maybe you can try and do the same.
As others have said, I am just making statements based on my own experiences. Lower paid workers are lower paid workers usually for the reason that their tasks are simpler and they typically have less responsibility or liability (although its not always the case, some are just UNDERPAID). But we cannot say what they might be paid, but based on how the guys from Schiit act on forums.... they think that they are gods and that nobody else can touch them. I doubt that those employees are "so fairly paid" (even though I'm not sure what that would mean, since doing QC like listening to music is a "fair" $15/hr task and its likely that they spend less than 10 minutes with each device. Meaning 10 units per hour, $15/hour = $1.5 per unit QC.
And as the guy was talking about their "assembly line" that they just "do a run and then are good for a while" suggests that they have part time/independent contracted employees who just come in for a day or two in order to "do a run".
